Court Rules 2006 Property-Tax Bills Invalid -- For Now
Interesting news for US Virgin Islands home owners from the St. Thomas Source this morning:
Sept. 15, 2008 -- All 2006 property-tax bills have been rescinded based on a District Court ruling, but the Division of Property Tax cautions residents to "make provisions for the eventual payment of these taxes once the legal issues are resolved."
A statement issued Monday by the Division of Property Tax advises property owners "to withhold payments of their 2006 property-tax bills until further notice."
2006 rescinded? why? One thing I do know, tax bills s/b going down with property values. Also, I found this site which gave some additional ways and programs that help save on and contest tax bills, http://www.needhelppayingbills.com/html/help_with_taxes.html but looking for more advice. Thoughts? Thanks
